"So how did they end up together?" Xu Wanying continued to ask.
[The Marquis of Zhongyi took a liking to the woman, inquired about her name, and then went home to tell his wife. His wife naturally objected; how could the future head of the Marquis's household marry a concubine's daughter, even one from a high-ranking family? He immediately knelt on the ground and begged, insisting that he would marry no one but Xiao Censhi.]
[Tsk tsk, another one who insists on marrying no one but you. Ha, men!] Xu Wanying sneered.
[The Marquis of Zhongyi thought he could marry Lady Cen by kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up, but this time the old Marquis's wife did not compromise. In fact, after the old Marquis found out, she gave him a severe beating, and he was bedridden for half a month.]
[After his injuries healed, he went back to kneeling, and of course, got beaten again. He didn't get the third beating, because he'd come to his senses; it wasn't worth it for a woman. He decided to find someone else.]
Upon hearing this, Xu Wanying couldn't help but click her tongue again: "I think it's not that she's figured things out, but rather that she's afraid of getting beaten again."
Marquis Zhongyi almost opened his mouth to answer, saying that he had truly figured it out and wasn't afraid of being beaten.
The men of the Jiang family learned martial arts from a young age, making them tough and resilient, and they were beaten up from childhood.
They're afraid of everything except getting beaten up.
However, before he could finish speaking, he received a sharp look from Madam Cen, so he immediately changed his tune and started coughing violently: "Cough cough cough!"
[The details of this matter are unknown. He then went to the temple to look for women with large breasts and shapely buttocks. At this time, because of Yu Jingxuan's change of heart, Lady Cen had not yet chosen a marriage partner. Lady Cen had seen through the cold-heartedness of scholars, so she wanted to find a military general. She felt that a man with strong limbs but simple mind would be easier to control, and even if he betrayed her later, she could handle him. Therefore, she chose the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, and even wrote him a poem that a three-year-old child could understand.]
Xu Wanying immediately perked up and eagerly exclaimed, "What poem? Hurry up, I can't wait!"
【One, two, three, four, march in step, I await our destiny ahead. When destiny comes and goes, do not look back, under the peach blossom tree, you and I.】The system recited this poem very readily.
【Hahahaha——】Xu Wanying really wanted to clap her hands and laugh out loud, but she tried her best to hold it in; there were people all over the room.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
She never expected that someone would laugh out loud and do something she wouldn't dare to do.
The clear, crisp laughter, like the sound of silver bells, rang out in the courtyard, sounding incredibly abrupt.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound and saw Li Chunlan laughing loudly. When she realized something was wrong, she immediately shut her mouth, her face turning red like a cooked shrimp.
"Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?" Xu Wanying couldn't help but ask.
Her voice trembled: "System, quickly check if there's anything unclean around here! Li Chunlan's laughter is terrifying, like she's possessed!"
Li Chunlan wanted to roll her eyes. No, if there really is something unclean here, it can only be you and the system!
She stammered, sweating profusely, and fearing that Xu Wanying would become suspicious, she quickly made up a random excuse.
"I was just laughing at my father-in-law for coughing so much that his face looked like a monkey's butt!"
[No, that's definitely not why she was laughing. Something's strange!]
Xu Wanying’s serious and confident voice came through, and everyone else became uneasy. Had they been guessed?
Marquis Zhongyi and Lady Cen both frowned and looked at Li Chunlan with displeasure. She really was a useless person who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!
Li Chunlan stamped her foot in frustration, and said in a desperate tone, "I'm laughing at this Aunt Zhou. She served her father-in-law all night and walked so steadily. She could clearly greet him in the morning, but she insists on putting on airs in front of her mother-in-law. It's ridiculous!"
"Third sister-in-law, as you know, I'm slow-witted, and I've only just figured this out."
As she said this, she covered Pan Ge'er's ears with her hand again.
My apologies, my apologies. As a daughter-in-law, she shouldn't have been meddling in her father-in-law's affairs.
She even said it in public, mainly because Xu Wanying forced her to. Anyway, as long as her third sister-in-law believed it, she could let the matter drop.
Xu Wanying breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with feigned concern: "It's good that you've explained things clearly, sister-in-law. I thought you weren't feeling well!"
[System, you really can't underestimate anyone. Look how quick-witted Li Chunlan is!]
[I didn't even realize it until she said it. This charming and alluring Aunt Zhou served him all night, and the next morning she was still walking briskly, her waist swaying like a water snake, completely unaffected. What does this mean? It means the Marquis of Zhongyi is impotent, hahaha!]
[People have to accept getting old. At this age, there's no need to cause trouble. Aunt Zhou is still his favorite type; he can't handle it anymore, haha!]
[After a night of passion, the young girl was rosy-cheeked and unharmed. Look at this wretched old man, pale as a ghost, hunched over, his legs unable to straighten!]
Xu Wanying's sarcastic remarks never stopped, her witty remarks coming one after another, coupled with her arrogant laughter, until the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness felt his face sink to the bottom of the pot.
He gritted his teeth, straightened his back, and looked like he was about to pass out.
Xu Wanying, oblivious to the Marquis of Zhongyi's annoyance, continued her rant: "My sister-in-law must think the same thing, that's why she couldn't help but laugh so hysterically. She's too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she's just making up excuses."
Li Chunlan was almost in tears. She looked at her father-in-law's increasingly gloomy face and broke out in a cold sweat.
Good heavens, she absolutely didn't mean that!
Even if she had a hundred lives, she wouldn't dare to complain about her father-in-law's impotence! Her third sister-in-law was going to kill her!
【Hahaha, host, you're absolutely right!】The system clapped along, its electronic laughter sounding strangely eerie.
[Quickly, while I'm in a good mood, let's spill a few more bombshells about this old geezer! What happened after his mother-in-law wrote that satirical poem for him? Let's continue!]
[The Marquis of Loyalty received the doggerel, glanced at it a few times, then threw the paper away, cursing, "I hate those pretentious idiots! They can't say what they want to say, so they have to write this doggerel. I don't understand it!"]
The moment the system uttered those two sentences, everyone present showed a strange expression.
Ah, is the Marquis so illiterate?
Even Pan Ge'er looked at him in surprise. As the saying goes, old ginger is spicier.
He is still no match for his grandfather in terms of being ignorant and incompetent, and there is still a lot of room for him to decline.
